What is the problem with using third-party clear text credentials and how can the issue be resolved?

What will be an ideal response?


The problem with third-party applications using cleartext credentials is that there's no way for you to know if they do so or not. Luckily, we live in a world filled with people who run packet sniffers on just about everything. These vulnerabilities are often discovered fairly quickly and reported. Most likely, you'll get an automatic patch.
